One thing that should be kept in mind when re-designing Balmora is the fact who owns it, House Hlaalu.
Next thing-to-do would be to examine and (possibly) learn something about Hlaalu from other sources (can think of any right now X( ). Position is of crucial importance in design (duh), especially with city as important as Balmora. True it might not be the seat of Haalu's power, but it certeanly is on of it's important possesions. Find historical comparisons. Political standing of the faction. Hope this will be of some help..... riiiiight

yes and all of these point considered....
fortification... Hlaalu are the type who would rather hunker down and withstand a siege.... actually they'd rather bribe the enemy to stay away... but a fortified Balmora makes sense..... 3 story buildings... obviously an influence from the Imperials.... basically, 6 years after TES3, the Hlaalu are really taking over Ascadian Isles and Bitter Coast and S. West Gash... they have a forged deeds for Ascadian Isles.... claim to the Odai R. area and from Gnaar Mok to Hla Oad... their territory in the east ends at Suran.... however they seek to trade for Zainab ebony... by the way, the fact that the Hlaalu use a lot of forged and illegal deeds (some of them) will be a big thing.... |

should've read the enitre thread... then you'd realize we all understood what you meant!
but... if the Redoran army comes, they aren't gonna go away for any amount of gold... so bribing is out of the option there.... |

Quote:Originally posted by KuKulzA Sorry, didn't have the time. Just a quick question. Did House Hlaalu lead any real wars in the past?

Quote:Originally posted by ArbiterDon't worry too much about it. I'm currently doing my best to look over the history of the Hlaalu to try to get an idea of what exactly they are going for. The town will be larger and very well fortified, and Hlaalu have hired out to the Fighters Guild to help provide protection and arms for the city and the outlying lands. I know I have an outline of the city in my first post, but it doesn't really show defenses that well. I am in the process of working on a more detailed and elaborate blueprint of the town. Balmora will kick ass, just like it should. :goodjob:

Quote:Originally posted by Arbiter yes they have... but never fought in any big wars since Red Mt. In the past they probably have fought the other Houses and also probably fought Dagoth Ur's minions.. though they weren't big participants... they did chip in.... If you remember, in the Velothi Tower of Odirniran was a Telvanni mage being besieged by Hlaalu... apparently they don't like each other.... most wars subsided when the Morag Tong began the House War executions... the killing of the marked individual instead of the involvement of an entire House... that way... fewer deaths, less disaster |

consewuences....
though Hlaalu has relatively powerful small raiding parties.. they can't fight a long drawn out war... therefore they begin to make defenses and hunker down.... in case |
